Nicki Instagrammed her killer 3D digits (twice!) a few days ago, and dang, we can totally see why. She loaded up on the studs, gems, and iridescent glitter for a nail look that was sure to stand out amid all five of her outfits.

We already saw a preview of Rita’s “Black Widow”-themed manicure yesterday, but dang—girl forget mention that it cost $56,000 to put that nail art together! Rita used AZATURE Black Diamond nail polish paired with hand-crafted diamond spiders and ruby bows for THE most killer (heh) look of the night.

Sarah went for a single stripe of gold across nude nails for a simple-yet-dressy look we could totally sport on the daily.

If you can tear your eyes away from those rings, Bey’s nails are just as amazing. She swiped silver metallic polish on stiletto tips with an accent charm on the ring finger.

Jamie also went for a minimal nail design by adding a single gold stud to dress up a nude manicure. Perfect!
